Hello. I don't really feel comfortable weighing in on this issue because the demise of JFW is apparently a rumor, nothing more.
However, if you are looking for a positive experience with Windows 7, I would really consider using Windows 7 with Window-Eyes. It works great! As I write this note, however, I can't help but feel how good it is to be able to use Mac OS and built-in accessibility. We are extremely fortunate to have responsive people who are dedicated to making VO more than a week attempt to assert that accessibility issues are being addressed.
